Default Turkey hunting with a crossbow.

I'm going to use my crossbow to hunt turkey's this spring. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what kind of tip to use?

Any good fixed broadhead with an attachment to limit penetraion or a large mechanical will do the job.

As for the Gobbler Guillotines, I read on a couple of other forums they won't work w/ xbow, won't clear stirrup. Regards
